This week in Fairbanks area. I told you we don't need planes. We just hop on a Mosquito and ride to wherever we want to go. LOL That's the air strip behind her. The hangers are to the right, out of view.

Man, that state has a mosquito fetish, from school yards to air strips. Wouldn't be surprised if they domesticated next.

Just got done doing two of my wheels. Holy crap, I love this clear coat I got. I'm going to use this stuff when I refinish headlights now. Goes on really, really nice.

I wound up sanding it instead. I primed it, then base, then clear. They actually aren't that far off the original color. Left is newly painted (prior to clear going on), right is original.

Oh they weren't that bad, I was thinking they were much worse for some reason. They turned out well, can you static balance those....weights on the inside ?
